Morphology
The phrase denotes a shade of brown described by the familiar noun 'caramel' modifying 'brown', so its meaning (a brown color like caramel) is directly derivable from the constituents. This modifier+color composition is a transparent, cross-linguistic descriptive pattern in English and would be understood by a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Caramel brown comes from the warm color of cooked sugar called caramel, so as a noun it names that 'shade' of brown.
